Committee removes school‑zone parking restrictions near Elmore, MacArthur as buildings close
Summary
The committee approved removing 15 mph school‑zone signs, bus loading zones and other parking restrictions adjacent to Elmore Elementary and MacArthur Elementary now that the schools are closed or scheduled for demolition; staff will coordinate future restrictions with the school district if the sites are reused.
The Green Bay Traffic, Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee on May 18 voted to remove parking restrictions around two closing schools: Elmore Elementary and MacArthur Elementary.
Staff told the committee that Elmore is closed and the city no longer needs the school‑zone signs, bus loading zones or no‑stopping restrictions on nearby streets. The committee approved removing the restrictions and staff noted the ordinance book can be updated and restrictions reinstated later if future use of the properties requires school‑zone controls.
On MacArthur, staff said the school district expects the building to be torn down within weeks, and recommended removing adjacent school parking restrictions (including 15 mph zones and bus loading areas). Staff flagged one existing bus bump‑out at MacArthur and said they would coordinate with the school district about whether that feature should remain for future uses; the committee approved removing the school restrictions now.
“All the school zone and school advance signs, 15 mph signs, and all the parking restrictions around the school will go away because that school has been closed,” a staff member said about Elmore. The committee approved both removal items by voice vote; the transcript records agreement but does not provide a roll‑call tally or mover identity.
Staff said they will return to the committee if the properties’ future uses require reestablishing loading zones or other restrictions.
